Would you mind enlightening us on just how MLK is relevant to the study of the philosophical basis, structure and functioning of our government?

and white liberals have taught them to despise the latter.
But just from what I can recall from your posts, between blacks, hispanics, liberals, and Muslims, you show a lot of disdain for a lot of people.

I don't understand how people don't realize why African-American Investors are the first results when searching American Inventors.

The Civil Rights movement is centered around and would be completely toothless without the public accommodations clause, which required private parties to provide services to private parties (or else), and required skirting or tearing down other ideals that were once revered.
All anathema to the American system of government, so I disagree.

I wont respond to your liberal drivel in the second sentence but I will say that I was the first person that posted about the "american inventors" phenomenon
i saw it on one of my trump meme pages on fb

And MLK's role in either the Revolutionary War or the War of Northern Aggression?
Yes a great role model. However, no matter the exemplary a figure he was or how righteous the cause he represented neither offers instructive insight into a democratic republican form of government nor on the roles and relationships of the federal and state governments.
To instruct otherwise is to advance a political agenda and indoctrinate students in its intent instead to educate on the subject.

So yes, I'm triggered due to the implied non-separation of church and state message.
Would it have triggered you in 1776 when a minister signed the DoI?

Dude it's a symbol - like all covers of textbooks.
So, maybe the fullfillment of "all men are created equal" which is pretty much the big point in the Declaration of Independance and therefore a major basis in formulating a system of government.
This is taking shite way too literally and it's like crying (as I posted earlier) that an Eagle is on an AP American Government textbook (which it is) - what does Ornithology have to do with American Governance?

omg shut up. Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard to escort the Little Rock Nine into school following SCOTUS ruling in Brown v. Board of Education on 14th Amendment grounds.
You could teach a whole semester of civics and federalism on that sentence alone.

Now, this is the only post since I started this discussion that I could halfway buy as to why MLK would ever belong on a textbook about "Government". Still a stretch to come to that conclusion on my thick-headed own..but if anything about this has a glimmer of making sense, this is about the only thing I would consider......other than that, still just a liberal statement on a textbook to me.

That cover is a joke. MLK was neither a government institution or a policy maker. It would be more appropriate to have a picture of the Capital next to a image of the Constitution or Bill of Rights. A left political agenda created that cover and the implication is that his arms are crossed, because he doesn't accept the nation's institutions like the Washington monument. Sadly, the revisionist text in the book is probably worse that the cover.

Exactly.

Have you actually read any of it?
Oh and the 15th edition has a cover that you couldn't possibly be mad about so take solace in that.
